For the last chord ‘Where you don’t see me” I think D sounds better than Gbm
i love this song wholeheartedly
-2 is super easy!
I find it better to do a D than Gbm on the last line of the chorus
G A D
“Where you don’t see me”
-2 is easy. I like to do quick downstrums. Like 4 for each chord.
Anyone have a suggestion for how to replace that E?
I don’t transpose it and play 2 down-strums on each chord until I reach ‘and autumn comes’. Then I switch to a DDX pattern for more edge. (and X is chuck if you didn’t know. If you don’t know how to chuck there are tutorials online.)
i think the Gbm in the chorus sounds off, so i dont recommend playing it
Whats the strumming pattern?
I like +1.. transitions between chords are kind of easy.
i love this song <3
i love -4
